Victory in Life
Chapter 525
"Please tell me," Jasper replied, sounding neither arrogant nor inferior.
Actually, Jasper had called Old Man Law when he went to Seussville to see Gale, he also asked Law for something, and instead of forbidding Jasper from leaving, Old Man Law said something interesting.
"I don't see any problems with you visiting Gale Hurlbutt, Jasper, while the old man was grumpy, he felt his dignity was more important than anything else, there's no way he'll put that aside and do anything to you"
"Not to mention that you've really offended the businessmen from Haddock this time, if you can get a positive reaction from Gale, then you'll at least be safe from the open attack of the Haddock Chamber of Commerce"
"But be careful when dealing with Gale and Jasper, this guy is very cunning, and there's more to him than his uncaring, retired face"
With those words still echoing in his ears, Jasper recalled everything that had happened since he met Gale.
Jasper did feel that Gale thought more about it, but there was no confirmation of whether it was a good or bad plan.
Gale's white brows twitched slightly, and he smiled at Jasper, "Don't worry, young man, I'm not the type of person who would feel I'm a guest over your head, if anything, I'm not, I'll propose a deal both win."
"I'm sure you realize Waterhoof City as the financial center of our country even without me telling you, there will be more uses for Waterhoof City in the future and the policy will only start to benefit the city more, the city said, this is a valuable piece of land."
"Our chamber of commerce was originally planning an acceleration of development in Waterhoof City, but we didn't expect a young man like you to show up halfway and almost defeat our Waterhoof City branch forces in one go."
"Since this is the loss you caused, then it's only natural that you fix this problem"
Gale's eyes were filled with intent as he spoke, he looked at Jasper meaningfully, "I've decided to ask you to take on the role of vice president of the Waterhoof City branch, he said, you will be asked to lead the Haddock Chamber of Commerce as it integrates with the City of Waterhoof."
Jasper.
The last thing Jasper imagined was this old man welcoming him to the Haddock Chamber of Commerce while also giving him the position of vice president of the Waterhoof City branch.
Because this position was beyond his reach, Jasper frowned and shook his head, "I'm sorry, to begin with I'm not even a member of the Haddock Chamber of Commerce, either, I also have no plans to enter any chamber of commerce for now, especially not as vice president of a city as important as Waterhoof City."
Not surprised by Jasper's reaction, Gale chuckled and replied, "We call it a chamber of commerce, but this is more of a loose community than anything else, there are no restrictions in terms of members, of course..."
"I can give you a formal appointment if you need one, the room won't force you to do anything you don't want to do."
"However, no matter how loose this community is, it remains an organization with centuries of history, I don't want to see the Haddock Chamber of Commerce end up in my hands."
"Waterhoof City is important, but there are too few people in the room who are suitable for such a job."
Gale turned to Jasper seriously before continuing, "Three years, I just want you to take on the role for three years, then you can leave if you want"
Jasper frowned, "What if I become vice president only in name, Old Man Hurlbutt? what if I spent those three years lazing around and not contributing at all?"
Gal smiles. "As I said, the room won't force you to do anything, if you don't want to do anything for those three years, that's fine either."
The better Gale is, the more Jasper feels alert.
But no matter how he thought about it, Jasper was unable to find any obvious problems with the offer.
